Saturday nights became very interesting when ITV decided to enter the world of bigger-budget family-focused sci-fi to try and rival the likes of Doctor Who in 2007 with this creature feature series. David Attenborough and the Giant Dinosaur was a truly moving piece of TV – but it was also the story of a truly massive dinosaur.” 'Primeval' Or just that terrifying feeling you get when you realise how much bigger than you something is. What the critics say: The Independent - "I think it was awe. That started one of the most intense and exciting digs in modern history as paleontologists from around the world arrived to carefully retrieve the 200 other bones of what became known as the Titanosaurus, the biggest animal to ever walk the Earth which measured 37 meters long and weighed 70 tonnes!Īttenborough and the Giant Dinosaur follows the two-year excavation (one man likens it to a "paleontological crime scene") in company with Sir David, whose sense of wonder at the natural world reaches peak astonishment when the huge fossils are uncovered and the complete skeleton is reconstructed. One day in 2014, a shepherd was out searching for a lost sheep in the wilds of Argentina’s Patagonia region when he found more than he bargained for – a gigantic fossilized bone sticking out of the ground. Where to watch: BBC iPlayer 'Attenborough and the Giant Dinosaur' Part natural history, part epic experiment, all entertainment, Deadly Dinosaurs covers all manner of prehistoric beasts from the aquatic to airborne, the 10 episodes educate and entertain children of all ages.

Take for example one of the largest dinosaurs, the 30-meter plus, earth-shuddering Patagotitan, which is recreated in Deadly Dinosaurs by an enormous fire engine crane. The irrepressible adventurer and natural history presenter is in his element with this CBBC series that tries its hardest to explain how fearsome dinosaurs were with the help of CGI and all manner of props.
